No other main line into Chicago from the east boasts as much traffic or variety as that of Norfolk Southern's Chicago Line. This high-density double track mainline sees a great deal of moves every day, from unit oil and ethanol moves to hot intermodals to general freights and everything in between. In this volume we cover both freight and passenger trains from Elkhart, Indiana to Toledo, Ohio.

Pooled power is plentiful, and you'll see examples of this from roads like Union Pacific, Canadian National and BNSF. Haulage moves from Canadian Pacific also make appearances. Norfolk Southern Heritage power also finds its way into the production, and we'll see several of them on our journey, including the Conrail, Central Georgia, Penn Central, Southern and many others.

Shot in all seasons of the Year, traffic will be seen in all kinds of conditions, from warm summer days to the cold, blowing winter snow squalls typical for this region of the Midwest. Endangered signals dating back to the New York Central form great backdrops for trains, at a time when NS is just starting to renew a lot of the line side signal hardware on this Western end of the system.

From the classic Indiana and Ohio small towns and through the beautiful country settings with many miles of old code line still in place, these locations all combine to typify what this busy line is all about. Come witness the action as Volume 2 commences on Norfolk Southern Chicago line, Elkheart to Toledo, by C-Vision Productions.

Most of the DVDs from this producer are not shrink-wrapped, but they do include a security seal either on the top or all three sides of the case.

Nice program about a busy mainline with lots of foreign power and Heritage units. Nice variety of seasons. CVision always does a great job and their narrator Don Grant is a joy to listen to. If there is one criticism of the program, its that the train symbols shown are incorrect. There are manifest freights and a military train that show an intermodal train symbol. Intermodals are listed starting with a 2. Also at Pettisville, Ohio, the westbound Lake Shore Limited and Capitol Limited are confused. Westbound 49 is identified as 29 and vice versa. otherwise a great program.
